What? You mean you actually studied and applied yourself???
I've met SO many student pilots who think it's the instructors job to spoon feed them everything they need to get on with a major. You post is a breath of fresh air, thank you.
Truth is, it's hard work. It takes time, luck, and did I mention a lot of hard work. With your attitude, it looks like you could have succeeded at any school.
Good Luck!
